The Reducing Exercise Sensitivity With Exposure Training (RESET) Study

This study investigates the feasibility of conducting a home-based reducing exercise sensitivity with exposure training (RESET) intervention among acute coronary syndrome (ACS) survivors. RESET is an at-home, 2 visit intervention that involves psychoeducation, a brief, low-to-moderate intensity walking session (i.e., interoceptive exposure), and interoceptive counseling, and is designed to reduce exercise sensitivity (i.e., fear of exercise sensations) and improve participation in exercise-based secondary-prevention guidelines (cardiac rehabilitation and physical activity). The primary purpose of this pilot study is to test the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of recruiting and administering the RESET intervention in ACS patients.
